Details	This article introduces the life of Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez and his masterpiece, "Platero and I." Born in Moguer in 1881, Jiménez produced a prolific body of poetry despite his introverted personality and struggles with depression. The lecture covers key events in his life, including his meeting with his wife, Senobia, his exile to the United States, and his winning of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1956. The second part of the article is structured as an interactive session with the readers, where they can read excerpts from the work and consider metaphors, the symbolism of the rose, the meaning of Platero's death, and the tricolored butterfly.
